‘Buy American’ Between U.S., Canada Said to Be Settled
A yearlong dispute was settled between the U.S. and Canada over “Buy American” rules in the Obama administration’s stimulus package, according to a U.S. trade official.
The deal, which may be announced today, will allow use of Canadian products in many local U.S. projects funded by the stimulus program, said the official, who asked not to be identified because the accord hasn’t been made public. Canada also gets access beyond the stimulus to supply 37 states in the World Trade Organization’s government procurement pact.
